Ford 4.6 diagnosis, advice needed

[Supercharged111]

Really sounds like an electronic component failure. When they die, they tend to be happy cold and not hot. I forget what all is there to fail on the 4.6, were it a 5.0 I'd be looking at the TFI module.

I threw on some spare crank and cam sensors. And I'm bringing a spare MAF this weekend. Those are the only things I can think of that would cause a no-start situation. Fingers crossed.

Other components that I considered but rejected:
Coil packs. There's two, so if one were bad I'd still have half of an engine.
Coolant temperature sensor. Would make the car run badly, but wouldn't lead to a no-start.
Air intake sensor is part of the MAF.
MAP sensor - It doesn't have one.

Hopefully I've got it. Replaced the crank and cam sensors. Car worked for a bit, then stopped working. The pump ran but developed no fuel pressure.

Dropped the tank, retrieved both socks, and refit the original pump with a new sock. All appears to be well now. But I'm bringing plenty of spares to ECR just in case.
